50 Best Seafood Restaurants near West Newton

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable! I needed to organize a nice dinner for 15 people for my son's birthday. The whole process was absolutely flawless - from initial contact with Igor who took care of all the planning and setup. When we arrived to the restaurant everything was ready and we were treated with utmost attention. The dinner was served family style and we had a chance to pick our menu selections to be shared. The portions were very generous, beautifully decorated and served, service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone was beyond satisfied and happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Igor and Blue Salt team! You made our event very special and unforgettable!“

“Most mouthwatering dumpling in townTheir stir fry dishes are kinda amazing . Even their chicken with vegetables sounds pretty common but theirs amazing. I took my brother here and said to him "taste theor chicken with vegetables. Its amazing isn't it" and he said yes it is . And he dines and all the fine resterants in the Washington dc area. And in these times of inflation, they really haven't raised their prices as much as other restaurants have“

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“Another fantastic birthday meal at Eddie V’s! All staff, especially, Darrell, gave us exceptional service. The lobster tacos were *chef’s kiss*, both our entrees, cocktails and desserts (including a complimentary banana foster) did not disappoint.“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“one of the best meals we've had in a long time. highly recommend.“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!“

“thy are just so good sea food“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Cozy spot and can have a long wait time, but it’s well worth it. Miso butter cod was one of the best things I’ve had in the city. Service was good, waiter explained everything and answered any questions we had. Definitely a spot I would return to Boston for.“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Had a wonderful dinner. Sat at the bar and were impressed by the sophistication of the bar offerings. Kyle, the bartender, guided us through the cocktails and menu. Everything we had was tasty, lots of layers of flavor, and the occasional kick of spice that lingered.“

“Raoul and our server were the best. Great customer service despite how busy they were. Raoul, the general manager, was so accommodating and friendly and checked on our table multiple times. He even noticed I didn't enjoy my drink and offered to take it off the tab. I will 100% come back and recommend this place! While it is a chain restaurant, their treatment and handling of customers felt like a family and very intimate dining experience.“

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.“

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“Went with friends this last weekend and had a great time. Service was top notch, food was well prepared and tasty, drinks were creative and delicious. We’ll be back!“

“The food here was absolutely amazing, but what truly made our night so special was our waiter, Diego! He was incredibly nice, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire evening. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. If you are planning a visit and want to ensure a great night, I highly recommend asking for Diego. Thank you so much, Diego, for an unforgettable evening!“

“This is easily the best local seafood in town. The list of locally sourced oysters goes on for days. They give you a pencil to select today’s fresh offerings. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The lobster rolls (we had them both ways) are easily the best in Boston. We were greeted by Chef Jeremy and we can easily see why this place sets the standard for local seafood. We’ll be back.“

“Pretty good roast beef. Colder beef than the usual NS beef but also cooked a little more which I like. (The typical NS completely raw beef grosses me out). You got to love the owner though. He's been serving beefs for like 40 years, waaay before they became a foodie fad. So if you say 3 way to him he'll look at you like you're a giant dork. I think its hilarious. But anyhow the food is pretty darn good for fast food. Oh and the prices are fair. He didnt jack up his prices 200% when 40-50% inflation hit over the past couple of years. He jacked up the prices to pretty much exactly what the inflation was.“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“So we wanted some fresh oysters and we got more than we bargained for.. We sat at a very roomy contemporary bar and received the best service one could ask for on a Sunday .. GO SEE Denise !! Recommendations were on point to what we were looking for .. Denise was friendly hospitable great knowledge of her drinks and food and always served with a smile .. Her sidekick John who delivered the food was always smiling and friendly.. You have to go here to see Denise . She will make your day ..“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“I would like to thank Captain Marden for sharing their delicious food at the Winthrop Farmers Market! The wonderful food selections and the amazing staff member who was always there with a smile! Much appreciated! See you next year!“

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️“

“We love this place! Always fresh, absolutely delicious. The people working here are amazing - efficient, knowledgeable, super friendly on the phone and in person. What more could you ask for?“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“Was very delicious!! Definitely would go there again“

“Here’s a polished version in the style of a food critic:

From the moment you step inside, the restaurant makes a strong first impression. Soaring ceilings and a whimsical underwater theme create a distinctive atmosphere, with imaginative light fixtures resembling streams of ocean bubbles and colorful octopus murals adorning the walls. The space feels inviting, thoughtfully designed, and impeccably maintained. Guests can also take advantage of the outdoor dining area, which adds to the restaurant’s appeal.

The kitchen delivers where it matters most. The octopus appetizer, frequently praised by diners, lives up to its reputation with excellent flavor and preparation. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, showcasing well-balanced flavors and expertly executed textures. Each plate demonstrated attention to detail and a solid command of technique.

Service, however, proved to be the restaurant’s weakest point. Despite arriving around 1 p.m. during a relatively quiet period, the pace of the meal was noticeably slow. Given the light crowd, a more efficient turnaround would have been expected. The dining experience was further hindered by inattentive service, as our server checked on the table only once throughout the meal.

Overall, the restaurant offers an enjoyable dining experience highlighted by creative design and well-executed cuisine. While the food is certainly worth trying, the combination of sluggish service and premium pricing makes the value proposition less compelling. At this price point, there are stronger dining options available that deliver a more complete experience.“

“I've always been a customer of TOTH. It has been a few months that I've ordered from them, but tonight I wanted a good italian sub. I called to place a order and the young lady that took my order was very polite and attentive. When I got there, the young lady greeted me, and then another worker greeted me as well. Needless to say my italian sub was absolutely delicious. I've tried 6 different places looking for a good Italian sub. This was my first time ordering an italian sub from TOTH.I will always order my italian sub from them,from this point forward. Made just right.“

“Amazing.“

“Our first time here and can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone is extremely welcoming! I’m assuming it was the owner that brought the kids an appetizer on the house with a big smile and high fives! HOW COOL! The flavor was amazing! Service was great thank you guys!!!!!!“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“The food was so good! It was the first time I have ever had Szechuan food and now it won’t be my last. I have seen people here in the past but never ventured in to try it out and I have lived across the street from it for two years. They were so nice and accommodating. They added vermicelli noodles to my stewed tofu and shrimp and I was so grateful.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Mike Monaco at Akame Nigiri. Totally humble sushi master who has the in depth knowledge of fish crucial to being a top tier sushi guy. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary and it was exactly what we wanted— world class omakase but humble low key and very comfortable.

Chef Mike makes you feel at home with a buddy who just happens to deliver the tastiest morsels! We will be back, thanks again!!“

“I had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriend at Over the Charles. The food was excellent, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We watched the moon rise, which made the evening even more special. The staff surprised my girlfriend with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture.“

“My husband and I went to The Capital Grille in DEDHAM quite a few times and each time our server PIA went above and beyond EXCELLENT service . She is Professional, Personable, always smiling and making us feel as comfortable as talking to a friend!

“Absolute best sichuan chinese restaurant in town. The flavors and dishes are authentic and if you love spice, this place is a must visit in Boston. I can say with confidence that every single dish on their menu is a treat and an experience in itself and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable.“

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Celeste is an excellent restaurant. The restaurant itself is charming and warm, the dishes were innovative and fresh, and the service was quick and helpful. The attention to detail was impressive - you'll see what I mean when you go. My favorite dish was definitely the Tucuma Mousse; it was luscious and subtle and different from anything I've had before.“
